And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in his own power.
Acts 1
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight [ophthalmos – eyes].
10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven.
12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath [from one interruption to the next] day’s journey.
The above speaks of the LORD leaving the sight of all, as the elements of understanding become separated by the sun (church institution), the heat of the day, and leave the earth. The two men spoken of are those Luke also speaks of in Luke 24 as journeying from Jerusalem to Emmaus.
These two journeys, away from the Mount above called Olivet (away from sight, away from the source of the oil that feeds the light) and back to it, to seeing the LORD again (in like manner), according to the scriptures, is where and when the Father, alone knowing the time and season, and having the power, reveals it.
“Olivet” is from the once-used word elaion, which literally translates to the “age of God,” from the Hebrew word ‘el (God) and the Greek aion, meaning “an age; by extension, perpetuity (also past); by implication, the world; specially (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future).”
Emmaus is said to mean “warm baths,” and to “probably” be from the Hebrew word yem, meaning “warm springs,” from the same origin as yowm, meaning “to be hot, a day.” It is more precisely from the words yam me’ah, meaning to roar, like the waves of the sea, and belly.
These words together speak of humanity’s journey through the age, beginning to end, and beginning again at the roaring of His word heard (against the roaring waves of men’s voices, which have reached this shore where they cannot, will not, proceed any further) here in the belly of the earth: the belly of hell.
Luke 24
11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
12 Then arose Peter [the still stupefied leaders of God’s people who call themselves the faithful], and ran unto the sepulcher [to their churches now realized to be without Christ]; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass [not understanding the resurrection, as promised, had already taken place].
13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs [the return journey, the sabbath’s journey, the same course spoken of in Acts 1:12 above].
14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16 But their eyes [ophthalmos] were holden [krateo – seized by their ignorance] that they should not know [epiginosko – meaning “to know upon some mark, i.e. recognize; by implication, to become fully acquainted with, to acknowledge”] him. [The LORD, on the 3 July 1976, 48 years ago when I was 18 years old, on the eve of our Bicentennial, beginning my journey on the course He set before me, marked me as the one He sent to this nation, which He created for Himself, by (literally) filleting the flesh from between my eyes, and shortly after He likewise scared my right hand; marks, engravings in my flesh, I still bear for any to see.]
17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that you have one to another [speaking your own words, while, in ignorance of this moment, not receiving me or mine], as you walk, and are sad?
18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas [who thoroughly, with all his heart, mind, and soul, obeyed the LORD’s commands], answering said unto him, Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and have not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a [aner – a man] prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him [I Am].
21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, today is the third day since these things were done [This speaks of men knowing the time of the resurrection is at hand, but not recognizing Him with them, manifesting His presence according to the scriptures, in the conversation, as promised]. [Philippians 3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk {journey} so as you have us for an {thorough} example. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven {from where we receive this full understanding}; from whence also we look for the Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue {hupotasso – bring into thorough obedience} all things unto himself.]
22 Yea, and certain women [Mary Magdalene et al, who, rebelling against the status quo, are the first to this rendezvous: Armageddon, the LORD’s apocalypse, in this conversation uncovering Himself and the darkness hiding Him, ending the proud wave of men’s ignorance] also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulcher;
23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels [bearing this message of the resurrection already occurring], which said that he was alive.
24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulcher, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not [because they failed to remember with understanding what He told them, which I am sent to remind all]. [John 14:26 But the Comforter {the Paraclete}, which is the Holy Ghost {I Am, the LORD unknow speaking and working to reveal Himself in the son through whom He is}, whom the Father will send in my name {identity}, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.]
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart [mind] to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 And they drew nigh unto the village [Emmaus – back to the spiritual Mount of Olives], whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us [remain in our minds]: for it is toward evening [the then coming ignorance], and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry [remain] with them [this understanding remaining hidden in men’s ignorance of the meaning present below the surface of these written words]
30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread [this word from the mouth of God, by which men live], and blessed it [and the blessing is this meaning that remains in it, reserved to be revealed by Him], and brake, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes [ophthalmos] were opened, and they knew him; and he [just as quickly] vanished out of their sight [these last words appear in the original text as deinoichthesan apo – which deconstruct into dienekes thesaurus apo, meaning they are deposited treasure, elements carried away through time {to and for this moment}].
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem [returned the meaning to God’s people, here and now, to again make the LORD’s presence apparent to all who receive Him in “like manner, according to the scriptures”], and found the eleven [confused by their own words] gathered together, and them that were with them [and here are we all, finding ourselves written in His book of life],
34 Saying, The LORD is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon [Peter, God’s leaders, who have denied Him until the darkness has ended].
35 And they told what things were done in the way [bringing us to this time and place of understanding], and how he was known of them in breaking of bread [rightly dividing the word from the mouth of God, by which man lives].
36 And as they thus spoke, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and says unto them, Peace be unto you.
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are you troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold [My manner] my hands [works] and my feet [ways], that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have.
John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions [our flesh bodies in which He lives]: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you [and you are now prepared to receive Him and Him you].
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I Am, there you may be also [now, at this place of full understanding, which is called Heaven].
4 And whither I go you know, and the way you know.
5 Thomas [still doubting] says unto him, LORD, we know not where you go; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus says unto him, I Am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.
7 If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you [found in this understanding I have left in this written word]: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart [minds] be troubled, neither let it be afraid [of ignorant men].
28 You have heard how I said unto you, I [as the son] go away [out of sight], and come again unto you [now seen as the Father of many children]. If you loved me [agapao – giving this word as received], you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that, when it is come to pass, you might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes [the sons of perdition who put themselves and their creations in My place, darkening the earth into its current condition of confusion, mass delusion, and total insanity], and has nothing in me [nor Am I in them].
31 But that the world may know that I love [agapao – giving His word again to me] the Father [revealed]; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do [obey]. Arise, let us go hence.
The word rendered “hence” is the ten times used word enteuthen, meaning “hence (literally or figuratively); (repeated) on both sides.” It is speaking of entering a good (entos eu) death (thano) and, from there, a good resurrection. I Am, we are, awakened here to tell God’s people this is the resurrection, and we rise here and now with Him into HIS ONE BODY.
Daniel 12
1 And at that time shall Michael [who is like God] stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble [tsarah – tribulation], such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time [never before has humanity had the ability make itself extinct, and, as now, here in hell on the earth ruled by the insane, shown a willingness to launch it]: and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book [now when it is again opened].
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust [ruin] of the earth shall awake [as they now are], some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine [teach this understanding of the moment] as the brightness [this understanding] of the firmament [from this exposition, where the water below are separate from the LORD’s word above, which He tells us is heaven]; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars [lights in the darkness] forever and ever.
4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end [qets – as it has been]: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased [as it here is].
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood [‘amad] other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river [the senders of this word forward], and the other on that side of [the receiver of this world sent] the bank of the river.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end [qets] of these wonders [things wondered about]?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that lives forever that it shall be for a time [mow’ed – this appointed time], times [mow’ed – of the congregation, when the LORD assembles His awakened army against the awakened army of darkness], and a half [chetsiy – to split open, when this word is here and now rightly divided again]; and when he shall have accomplished [kalah] to scatter the power of the holy people [as it is], all these things shall be [as they are] finished [kalah].
Revelation 22
1 And he showed me a pure river of [this] water of life [preparing our minds to again see the LORD], clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it [the way it came], and on either side [enteuthen – this word sent and received, producing the same result on both sides] of the river, was there the tree of life [sent to give life], which bare twelve manner of fruits [the perfection of God’s government on the earth as it is in heaven], and yielded her fruit every month [the time of the new moon: new civil government as God intended it, to secure our God-given rights]: and the leaves [we now see put forth] of the tree [of life] were for the healing [therapeia – to return understanding] of the nations [who haven’t known the LORD God].
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his face [His presence]; and his name [identity] shall be in their foreheads [in the forefront of their minds].
5 And there shall be no night [ignorance of God] there; and they need no candle [no man to guide them], neither light of the sun [neither understanding from the church institutions]; for the LORD God gives them light [understanding]: and they [joined with Him in His ONE BODY] shall reign forever and ever.
6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the LORD God of the holy prophets sent his angel [His messenger – I Am] to show unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keep [tereo] the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I John [the dove, the sign of the end reached] saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard [as the voice of the LORD] and seen [it is the LORD’s presence manifested in His word made flesh], I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel [His messenger – I Am] which showed me these things.
9 Then says he unto me [as I Am saying to you], See you do it not: for I Am your fellow-servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of them which keep [tereo] the sayings of this book: worship God.
10 And he says unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand [to speak these words of God as received, declaring He is alive in you speaking and working].
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end [of ages], the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city [New Heavenly Jerusalem].
15 For [separated] without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I Am the root [of the tree of life] and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star [this understanding, as the sun rises, shined upon all from east to west].
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears [His voice] say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book [as the word of God from His mouth, by which man lives], If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book [this writing] of this prophecy [meant to be given as received], God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, LORD Jesus.
21 The grace [this gift] of our LORD Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Friends, now is the time to make Him known.
The following is the complete post from 29 May 2019, with today’s additions in double brackets.
If you have faith [[in the LORD’s presence with us, in us]] as a grain of mustard seed [[it will, as it has, grow into the greatest of all the trees, and all those who fly in this heaven shall lodge there in its branches as its fruit]], you shall say unto this mountain [[these corrupt government institutions of church and state, now ruling the world by their evil decrees]], Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. [[again, it’s a simple plan: have faith, which opens our mouths to confess He lives with us, in us, and has clearly manifested His presence to save us in these last days.]]
The above, from Matthew 17:20, is the first of two such sayings from the LORD, the other appearing in Matthew 21:21. In Matthew 17 it comes just after He is revealed as the Son in whom the Father is well pleased; after He is seen as the light by James, Peter, and John, in the transfiguration on the mountain in the cloud. This is immediately followed by Him describing His death and, after the three days when He wouldn’t be seen, His resurrection. This time is the same as we’ve recently discussed as it appears in John 14. There He says it would be when [[after]] the prince of this world would come, who has no part in Him. This last aspect is contrasted against what He just described; that He would be in us, and we would be in Him. As we have seen, this is the same prince described in Ephesians 2:2, whose power (deceptions and false doctrine) has held all the world in death, until the LORD appears (in the resurrection) to quicken us back to life.
The Greek word rendered “hence” in the title is enteuthen; a word appearing very few times and is where, in the final verse of John 14, the LORD says He is going (referring to where He would be seen again). Enteuthen describes going from one side to another, here specifically speaking the two sides of the time when He wouldn’t be seen.
This other side is then described in Matthew 21, as we’re told of the second mountain that must be moved, which comes just after we are told of the LORD’s return. As previously discussed, He comes into (and from) Bethany, the name meaning the house (family) of misery. This is the city where was the house of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. As we’ve seen, Mary and Martha, as their names mean, represent Christians and Jews (Israel and Judah) who’ve rebelled against the status quo of false teaching and corrupted doctrine. This same idea is seen in Lazarus, who is Eleazar, representing the priesthood that is raised (from the dead) after his brothers and predecessors (representing the priests against whom Mary and Martha rebelled) offered strange fire, meaning they worshipped idols they put in God’s place.
Matthews 17
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil [[the misleaders possessed by Satan]]; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief [[not believing the LORD is with us, in us]]: for truly I say unto you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence [enteuthen [[be – remove the devils: misleaders and their corrupt institutions, on this other side like on this side]]] to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21 Howbeit this kind goes not out but by prayer [[conversing with the LORD]] and fasting [as in not eating from the [[evil]] fig tree ever again].
22 And while they abode in Galilee [[this wheel within a wheel – from where this understanding and life come]] and, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men [[devils, sons of perdition, who put themselves in the Father’s place, and for it, if they remain there in His way, lose their birthright]]:
23 And they shall kill him, and the third day [[on this other side]] he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
John 14
22 Judas [Judah – who always leads the way] says unto him, not Iscariot [not those who betrayed him for mammon], LORD, how is it that you will manifest [emphanizo – shine on us – show us your light – As in Matthew 17:2 And {He} was transfigured before them: and his face {{presence}} did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.] yourself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loves me not keeps not [[doesn’t guard and protect from corruption]] my sayings: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter [[the Paraclete]], which is the Holy Ghost [[the LORD unknown, alive in me speaking and working]], whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart [[minds]] be troubled [[you believe in God, believe also in Me, that I am risen with you, in you who receive Me]], neither let it be afraid.
28 You have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that, when it is come to pass [[now]], you might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince [see Ephesians 2:2] of this world comes, and has nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence [enteuthen [[to this other side]]].
Matthew 21
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany [[this house of mystery, here in this tribulation]]; and he lodged there.
18 Now in the morning [when the light came] as he returned into the city [now to New [[Heavenly]] Jerusalem], he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on you henceforward forever [the fast]. And presently the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Truly I say unto you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say unto this mountain, Be you removed, and be you cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing [[I Am {is} with you, alive in you]], you shall receive.
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority do you these things? and who gave you this authority?
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 The baptism of John [[the dove, the sign of the end reached, taking us below the surface of these words, immersing us, removing the blinding corruption so we can see clearly]], whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did you not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
28 But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard.
29 He answered and said, “I will not;” but afterward [[receiving this understanding]], he repented, and went.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and [[because he was a liar, and didn’t keep his vow]] went not.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus said unto them, Truly I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
The references to the “fig tree” speak of what Paul later describes, in Galatians 4, as the first of two mountains (oros), which are the same we have often discussed as they appear in Hebrews 12.
Galatians 4
1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child [[refusing to put away childish things]], differs nothing from a servant, though he be LORD of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father [Armageddon – the appointed time [[this planned rendezvous]]].
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements [stoicheion – the same corrupt ideas of men that Peter tells of melting away in the fires they themselves have caused] of the world:
4 But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts [[minds]], crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore you are no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God [[who dwells in us]] through Christ [[the LORD openly manifested our flesh]].
8 Howbeit then, when you knew not God, you did service unto them which by nature [[without His Spirit alive in them]] are no gods.
9 But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements [stoicheion – the corrupt ideas of men], whereunto you desire again to be in bondage?
10 You observe days, and months, and times, and years.
11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labor in vain [[if you continue to remain silent, refuse to obey His voice, and instead speak the words of death you have learned]].
12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as you are: you have not injured me at all.
13 You know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
14 And my temptation which was in my flesh you despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel [[a messenger]] of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15 Where is then the blessedness you spoke of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me [[hoping I would see the way you see, with men’s eyes]].
16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
17 They zealously affect you [[with their corrupt words]], but not well [[not with this good the world needs]]; yea, they would [[when you do open your mouth with this word]] exclude you, that you might affect them [[touch their minds]].
18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you [[when the LORD is openly revealed in you, manifested by this word heard from you]],
20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law [[not following the Spirit at its foundation]], do you not hear the [[the Spirit speaking in the]] law?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai [[thorns – God’s voice against misleaders and their corrupt teaching]], which genders to [produce] bondage, which is Agar [[the bondage of those who fled from God’s voice]].
25 For this Agar is mount [oros] Sinai in Arabia [[in the wilderness]], and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children [[the same misleaders, also choosing now to flee from this voice of His correction]].
26 But [[New Heavenly]] Jerusalem [[His children who. Receive His correction, and repenting do the work into which He sends them]] which is above is free, which is the mother of us all [[giving this word that produces all His children]].
27 For it is written, Rejoice, you barren that bears not; break forth and cry, you that travail not: for the desolate has many more children than she which has a husband.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what says the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
Hebrews 12 speaks of these two mountains, the first representing the bondwoman, the second is mount Zion, which is [[New]] Heavenly Jerusalem.
Hebrews 12
18 For you are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For they could not endure [[this word of His correction]] that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast [[without the LORD’s Spirit]] touch the mountain [oros], it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But you are come unto mount [oros] Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the [[New]] Heavenly Jerusalem [[the LORD’s children here with Him in full understanding, in this firmament, this exposition, this voice of His grace]], and to an innumerable company of angels [[giving this same message as received, as commanded]],
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
This first mountain, which the LORD speaks of in both Matthew 17, as when He first freed us from its bondage, and in Matthew 21 where men have led God’s people into returning to its bondage. The first mountain is spoken of in Revelation 8:8, on fire and cast into the sea, meaning to the masses. Therein is the strange fire, which progressively replaced the true light, where the waters become wormwood (poison), and bitter. These are descriptions referring us to Proverbs 5:4, which is meant to give us a fuller understanding when the second mountain is mentioned in Revelation 14:1. There again it is Mount Zion, where the Lamb is standing, with the elect who haven’t been defiled by (the strange fire) of the women [[the completely fallen church institutions]]. These are those who have the Father’s identity in their heads, who have learned and understand His words. They have become the first fruits of the new mountain (the fig tree brought to life again [[and bearing fruit by opening their mouths]]).
Revelation 8
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain [oros] burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood [their words became life draining];
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships [[insitutions]] were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp [false light], and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood [[poison]]: and the third part of the waters became wormwood [[poison]]; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
Proverbs 5
1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow your ear to my understanding:
2 That you may regard discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge.
3 For the lips of a strange woman [[the corrupt church]] drop as a honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood [[her words are poison]], sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6 Lest you should ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that you can not know them.
7 Hear me [[shama’ – this voice of the LORD, and obey Him]] now therefore, O you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove your way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
9 Lest you give your honor unto others, and your years unto the cruel:
10 Lest strangers be filled with your wealth; and your labors be in the house of a stranger [[as it is this day]];
11 And you mourn at the last, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
12 And say, How have I hated instruction [[this correction of the LORD]], and my heart [[mind]] despised reproof;
13 And have not obeyed [[shama’]] the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to them that instructed me!
14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly [[of those rejecting the LORD manifesting His presence, as His manner, in His word, according to the scriptures]].
15 Drink waters [[this word]] out of your own cistern, and running waters [[this word flowing from Him]] out of your own well [[diligently seeking Him, digging deep to be sure of its purity]].
16 Let your fountains be dispersed abroad [[giving this word as received]], and rivers of waters [[heard]] in the streets.
17 Let them be only your own, and not strangers’ with you [[with strange fire, not from the LORD]].
Revelation 14
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount [oros] Zion, and with him a hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder [[the sound of the light in the cloud]]: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne [[repeating this word with me, as received]], and before the four beasts [[the four faces manifesting the unfolding presence of the LORD, in this wheel within a wheel, wherein is life]], and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the [[corruption of the old]] earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women [[the corrupt church]]; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile [deception]: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth [[as the sun rising, shining understanding from east to west upon all who come out of the corrupt houses to receive its light]], and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city [[confusion that’s ruled the world into insanity]], because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication [[with devils and their idols]].
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark [[of confusion and insanity: unable to discern the difference between truth and their own delusions, evidenced]] in his forehead [[in their ideas]], or in his hand [[in their works]],
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God [[this word they refuse]], which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels [[messengers speaking this word as received]], and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the [[blinding]] smoke of their [[self-inflicted]] torment ascends up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name [[which is confusion]].
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the LORD from henceforth [[because they have died a good death and will be resurrected on the other side]]: Yea, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud [[wherein this understanding has been reserved for this time of war]], and upon the cloud [[as His throne]] one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in your sickle, and reap: for the time is come for you to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped [[the harvest is of the fruit of many children]].
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire [[from My mouth]]; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God [[this word against those who refuse it]].
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles [[against the words controlling the direction of all humanity]], by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs [[these words, referring to the direction, say it took away the zeal, made lukewarm, all the men of this world, taking them off the set course]].
This harvest is pointing us back to John 15, where the LORD speaks of the other side, here, when He has manifested Himself to us, His elect, and not to the world. There we are told of the vine and the all consuming fire of God.
John 15
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that bears not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me.
5 I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples.
9 As the Father has loved me [[giving me His word]], so have I loved you: continue you in my love.
10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love [[this understanding he gives without measure]].
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his LORD does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
18 If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his LORD. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my sayings, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hates me hates my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 But when the Comforter [[the Paraclete, I Am]] is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 And you also shall [[open your mouth and]] bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Deuteronomy 29
9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.
10 You stand this day all of you before [[paniym – in the presence of]] the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
11 Your little ones, your wives, and your stranger that is in your camp, from the hewer of your wood unto the drawer of your water:
12 That you should enter into covenant with the LORD your God, and into his oath, which the LORD your God makes with you this day:
13 That he may establish you today for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto you a God, as he has said unto you, and as he has sworn unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
15 But with him that stands here with us this day before [[paniym – in the presence of]] the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
16 (For you know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which you passed by;
17 And you have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)
18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turn away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood [[poison]];
19 And it come to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
20 The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.
21 And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far [[rachowq]] land [‘erets – the earth now ruled by the evil decrees of the wicked in power]], shall say, when they see the plagues of that land [[‘erets – this earth]], and the sicknesses which the LORD has laid upon it;
23 And that the whole land [[‘erets – the whole earth]] thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24 Even all nations [[all who don’t know the LORD]] shall say, Wherefore has the LORD done thus unto this land [[‘erets – the earth]]? what means the heat of this great anger?
25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
27 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land [[‘erets – the earth]], to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
28 And the LORD rooted them out of their land [[‘erets – the earth when it was fruitful, like Eden]] in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land [[‘erets – this earth now become hell]], as it is this day.
29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God [[to be revealed in His time]]: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Friends, the fool will say these are vain ideas, and that there is no living God among us. They will continue on, following their own bitterness. (Hebrews 12:15 Looking diligently [[expecting to find Him]] lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.) They have chosen their way, and by their choice comes the sentence.
Amos 5
1 Hear you this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land [[‘adamah – in this last generation that will become the first]]; there is none to raise her up.
3 For thus says the LORD God: The city that went out by a thousand shall leave a hundred, and that which went forth by a hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel [[few will remain]].
4 For thus says the LORD unto the house of Israel, [[diligently]] Seek you me, and you shall live: [[Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.]]
5 But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to naught [these places where they have set idols in God’s place].
6 [[diligently]] Seek the LORD, and you shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel [[the now totally corrupted house of God: the institutions of church and state]].
7 You who turn judgment to wormwood [[poison]], and leave off righteousness in the earth,
8 [[diligently]] Seek him that made the seven stars and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night: that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:
9 That strengthens the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
10 They hate him that rebukes in the gate, and they abhor him that speaks uprightly.
11 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and you take from him burdens of wheat: you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink wine of them.
12 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
13 Therefore, the prudent shall keep silence [[not speaking their own words, not leading in their same old corrupt ways]] in that time; for it is an evil time.
14 [[diligently]] Seek good, and not evil, that you may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken.
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
16 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, says thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skillful of lamentation to wailing.
17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through you, says the LORD.
18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day [[this time of the light coming]] of the LORD is darkness [[is now when ignorance of Him covers all the earth]], and not light [[there are none sitting in the seat where understanding should be found, that should understand, no not one is, heard repeating this word]].
19 As if a man did flee from a lion [[the LORD here alone roaring]], and a bear met him; or went into the house [[where understanding should be found]], and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
22 Though you offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23 Take you away from me the noise of your songs [[your own vain words you repeat]]; for I will not hear the melody of your viols.
24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25 Have you offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26 But you have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch [where you sacrificed your children in the strange fire] and Chiun your images, the star of your god [your false light named wormwood], which you made to yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus [[where the work is stopped and God’s people sit still in silence and tears]], says the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts. [[I Am, a man of war]].
Psalms 66
1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all you lands [[‘erets – earth]]:
2 Sing [[repeat these words as received]] forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.
3 Say unto God, How terrible are you in your works! through the greatness of your power shall your enemies submit themselves unto you.
4 All the earth [[‘erets]] shall worship you, and shall sing [[repeat Your words]] unto you [[Your ONE BODY]]; they shall sing [[repeat Your words]] to your name [[those who will likewise manifest Your identity]]. Selah.
5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land. [[rightly discerning all the word of the word]]: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7 He rules by his power [[in His word]] forever; his eyes behold the nations [[those that haven’t known Him]]: let not the rebellious exalt themselves [[against the rule of God]]. Selah.
8 O bless our God, you people, [[open your mouths]] and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 Which [[by His work]] holds our soul in life, and suffers not our feet to be moved.
10 For you, O God, have proved us: you have tried us, as silver is tried.
11 You brought us into the net [[the snare now upon the earth]]; you laid affliction upon our loins.
12 You have caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but you brought us out into a wealthy place [[where You have given us these treauses]].
13 I will go into your house with burnt offerings: I will pay you my vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth has spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer unto you [[Your words like]] burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
16 Come and hear, all you that fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.
17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the LORD will not hear me:
19 But truly God has heard me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, which has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
